I Shall Celebrate You, Gilbert Poem by David N. Munene

I shall celebrate you, Gilbert
I shall celebrate you
Even under the darkness of grief
I shall celebrate you
With unwavering conviction despite disbelief
I shall celebrate you
For you have not been taken away
I shall celebrate you
For you shine even under skies grey
I shall celebrate you
For whom you have become
I shall celebrate you
And relish thy great charm
I shall celebrate you
For you are a living beyond death
I shall celebrate you
For I recall your strength
I shall celebrate you
For you smiled at the irate
I shall celebrate you
Even if this is a tribute for you, Gilbert
